Is there a way to back up the dconf settings, etc

I'm looking at being able to do a quick restore when installing a new version of Ubuntu Mate. I use the 'Pantheon' and some other settings in Mate-Tweak, and was wondering if there was a simple way I could save and restore said settings after a re-install. My other option is to hunt through the mate-tweak code and see what gets changed when my selections are picked and try to use ansible to 're-set' those values, but my first glance at the mate-tweak code is slightly daunting (as I'm only learning python right now)...

Figured I'd ask before I jump to far down this rabbit hole!

I think there is dconf dump / > backup.file and dconf load backup.file
